Dem Rep. Lawrence: Inflation Is ‘the Sole Issue’ Republicans Can Talk about — We’ve Done Things ‘to Keep the Housing Market Open
Breitbart ^ | 10/22/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 10/22/2022 6:48:07 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Velshi,” Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-MI) stated that inflation is “important” but it’s “interesting, with everything else that’s going on in the world, that is the sole issue that the Republicans” can talk about.

Lawrence stated that there are “other countries that are going through a global epidemic when it comes to our economy. And we have done so many things in this administration to create jobs, to keep the housing market open, which we know jobs in manufacturing and housing are some of those key things that stimulate our economy. This is a very uncomfortable time right now for anyone because when you — everyone needs to go get gas and we’re constantly reminded that inflation is happening. And we in Michigan have a very clear history of how, when the economy doesn’t work, when manufacturing stops how we lose jobs. We went through the housing crisis, one of the worst. And so, it is important to us. But isn’t it interesting, with everything else that’s going on in the world, that is the sole issue that the Republicans can rest on? And as we fight for democracy, bringing back voting rights, making it safe and accessible, when we talk about rights for women to choose, when we talk about education and the crisis that student debt is putting on our economy, lawsuits are filed. But that’s their single issue, and you can say what you want about a Republican, but they get — they know how to market their agenda.”

Housing market? More like the corrupt, rent seeking NIMBY regime. It’s slavery.

What the hell is Brenda talking about? Republicans are talking about illegal immigration, INFLATION, the energy crisis, the cost of fossil fuels, the Second Amendment, the border crisis, how funny it was to watch the liberal elite squirm on Martha’s Vineyard after Governor Desantis sent them some Venezuelans to enrich their lives, Crime. Crime is big. Grooming toddlers to be sexual deviants, religious persecution by the commie RATS, the coming cold winter, the tax dollars being wasted by the Ukies, dangerous criminals being turned loose on our streets, small town police departments “standing down” while school kids are being murdered, defunding the police, the far left using the U.S. military for their social engineering programs, a one party government, the White House holding the cost of Ice Cream cones down while letting the cost of a gallon of gas skyrocket. I think Brenda is clueless and FOS.

To: All

are the democrats still claiming that the “USA is the richest country in the world, therefore we can afford more government spending”? it sounds like they are admitting they cause inflation, and it’s just a necessary tradeoff for what the voter gets in return.

Don’t forget she represents The Ghetto Of The North, much of Detroit.

Surprising Jao Xiden hasn’t cherry-picked her yet for a cushy WH job.

“”We’ve done things to keep the housing market open.”

Hah!

In 2019 there were 40,000 vacant houses in San Francisco. Today there are 60,000. Yes, the ‘market’ is open, but no one wants to move there.

This somehow reminds me of the old joke, “other than that Mrs Lincoln, how was the play?”

“Surprising Jao Xiden hasn’t cherry-picked her yet for a cushy WH job.”

Xiden will have his hands full of that post-election.

All of the freshly ousted Democrats will be looking at the illegitimate Democrat in office, via election fraud, and asking themselves, what gives?

The days between 8 November and the new year will be quite something to watch!

Complaining about Inflation is racist, or something.
